Commentary of Quran 70:31 (Surah Al-Ma'arij)

But whoever seeks beyond that, those are the transgressors. (Kanzul Imaan Translation)

[27] The Prohibition of Illicit Relations

Any intimate relationship outside of lawful marriage is considered a transgression in Islam.
This includes Muta (temporary marriage), which is not recognized as a legitimate marital bond in Islam.

Why Muta is Forbidden

🔹 A Muta relationship does not fulfill the conditions of an Islamic marriage.
🔹 There is no concept of divorce, Khula, Lai’aan (mutual cursing in case of adultery), or inheritance in Muta.
🔹 A child born from Muta has no proper parental recognition, leading to moral and social corruption.
🔹 Islam upholds purity, dignity, and long-term commitment in marital relations to maintain a strong and ethical society.
